Vix at 24 is nothing. This is fun day, even if I'm in the red. I'd like to see some panic selling. Let's see if
@Nick87 is right and the stock market doesn't matter to most Americans. I'm not so sure.
Please see my previous hundred posts on the risk of buying things that are expensive. Yesterday was about covering shorts in case polls were wrong. Today it is back to the reality that inflation is high, interest rates are probably going up, and the key economic driver - building data centers- is probably going to slow down. Zero clarity on anything right now, but people will eventually be looking for things they can buy (see BHR). Just be cautious because a lot of the stuff in tech is still expensive if things slow.
